Happy 127th Birthday to International Ladies’ Garment Worker President David Dubinsky, the longest serving President of the union from 1932 to 1966! Here Dubinsky can be seen with Martin Luther King Jr. and Presidents from Truman through Lyndon B. Johnson!
.
After being imprisoned and later exiled for his involvement in a bakers' union of the General Jewish Workers Union in 1908, Dubinsky escaped from the small Siberian village to which he had been exiled, returned to Lodz, and resumed work as abaker with an assumed name. In 1911, he arrived in New York City and became a member of Local 10, the cutters' union of the ILGWU.
.
Dubinsky's rise in the ILGWU was swift, starting his union career in Local 10's executive board in 1918 and by 1932 he was elected President. Under Dubinsky's leadership, the ILGWU's membership grew tremendously. Reaching over 450,000 in 1957, the ILGWU was indisputably one of the largest and most powerful unions in the United States!
.
While president of the ILGWU, Dubinsky was deeply involved in state, national, and international politics. In 1936, he joined in founding the American Labor Party in New York State and served as Democratic Party elector for the ticket of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John N. Garner.

It only takes one moment, one conviction that you act on, to start a ripple of change in your part of the earth.

Madiba : The only Foreigner to receive Both of the International Gandhi Peace Prize and the very famous #BharatRatna (Which shows how important was this first president of Republic of South Africa for India)
A man who was a true follower of #bapu Gandhi and later on turned out to be most inspirational personality (along with #martinlutherkingjr and Bapu itself) for @barackobama (The First Black president of the Oldest and most settled democracy of the world*) Nelson Mandela ran his Campaign on the lines of #MahatmaGandhi and was an important member of @african_national_congress (Which was formed on the lines of @incindia )
His release from Prison (After serving 27 important years of his life there) was a huge moment for whole of the world and specially for the Democratisation of South Africa..
Later on Mandela was given @nobelprize_org (for peace) for his amazing efforts throughout his life..the combativeness of his personality can easily be found in his work as well as in his words..He once said that.. "It Always Seems Impossible Until It's Done." Mandela was a very inspiring and Colourful personality as he got married thrice..(Third one could be a woman of Indian origin but..) He wasn't just a great hero for Blacks of Africa or of rest of the world But an Angel for Humanity..A man who always Believed in process and making the Basic things right.. This can be understood by his quote about education as he once said.. “Education is the most powerfulweapon which you can use to change the world.” I'll always be a huge admirer of you #madiba#myheros#truelegends - 6 hours ago

Black American civil rights activists, #MalcolmX and #Martinlutherking only met once in their lifetime on March 26, 1964.
All fought for black civil rights but with different ideology
#martinlutherkingjr believes that: equal rights should attained peaceful, without violence, by boycotting and marching, #black and #white should guaranteed the same
#malcomx believes that: equal rights should attained 'BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY', if u want your rights u have to fight for it, if someone hits u, send him to cemetery, #blacks is superior to #whites so blacks should never mix with whites and should have their own independent state in #America - 8 hours ago
